What to expect
Almost 600 years old, Funchal is full of tales of kings, queens and conquests. So a small group walking tour around town is like stepping through the pages of a history book. You'll learn about French battles atop the city walls, hear about the famous folk buried in the Anglican Church, and find out why foreign royalty once dined at St Claire's Monastery.

Studenten doen de rondleiding maar zijn duidelijk goed opgeleid en op de hoogte. Er is veel moois te zien in Funchal en onze gids wist veel te vertellen. Het vertrekpunt is matig; de universiteit gedoogt de toeristen die rondhangen tot de tour begint maar leuk vinden ze het niet. De wandelingen zijn wel steil af en toe, je moet goed ter been en fit zijn.

Es war eine sehr kurzweilig Führung mit einem engagierten, jungen Leiter. Sehr zu empfehlen.

In den 2 Stunden habe ich wahnsinnig viel über Madeira erfahren. Mein tourguide,ein junger Student, hat sehr viel Wissen geteilt. Die Tour ist für das Geld absolut zu empfehlen. Man sollte gut zu Fuß sein

Gut gefallen hat mir, dass wir mit der Teilnahme an der Führung einen Sozialfonds für Studenten in Madeira unterstützt haben. Unser Guide war eine Freiwillige, die hier durch die Führung Einnahmen für diesen Fonds ermöglicht. Sie hat uns sehr lebendig von Funchals Geschichte erzählt, viel Lebensnahes, ohne uns mit Daten oder allzu Historischem zu "belasten". Richtig schlecht war allerdings der Treffpunkt beschrieben, hier besteht dringender Verbesserungsbedarf.

Unser Tourguide war krankheitsbedingt ausgefallen. Uns wurden zwei alternative Routen angeboten, zur gleichen Uhrzeit. Mit dem Alternativvorschlag waren wir sehr zufrieden. Wir haben von Stefanie allgemeine Informationen und Tipps zu Funchal und Madeira erhalten. Die Tour war angenehm zu laufen. Wir waren 5 Gäste bei der Tour.

Schöne Tour in der Hauptstadt der Insel. Der Führer erklärt sehr lebendig die Geschichte und die Architektur und die jüngere Geschichte der Insel. Ein idealer Einstieg, um sich hier als Sucher zu orientieren, keine verkrampfte Führung, sondern sehr locker.

De gids was heel goed, ze wist veel over de lokale geschiedenis. Echter 1 opmerking, ter verbetering van de experience: op de voucher stonden 3 verschillende afspreekplaatsen, het zou er eigenlijk maar 1 moeten zijn denk ik
